Request a Review →Hospitality & Hotel Operators: What Funding Sources Typically Look At
Hotels are property-based businesses evaluated on occupancy, average daily rate and net operating income, along with the brand's requirements and the owner's operating experience. Renovation obligations tied to a franchise brand can shape the size and timing of a request.
Common Financing Uses
- Acquiring a hotel or inn
- Renovations or brand-required property improvements
- Refinancing an existing hotel loan
- Working capital for seasonal swings
Documentation Typically Requested
Operating statements, occupancy and rate history, any brand or franchise agreement, the renovation budget and a schedule of the owner's properties.
Illustrative Scenario
An owner of a seasonal inn might structure financing around the high season, with working capital set aside for the slow months.
